How does Arteta solve a possible Ødegaard absence?

Well we have heard from the managers now, with both doing their usual niceties talking about each other, which we’ve all come to expect given how close they are as friends. Pep did a little flippant comment about how if Mikel wins the league it is not because of him or his team, but because [...]

An Arsenal fan ‘vibes check’ on City fans

We have to wait until Sunday before we line up against City at The Emirates, which I think is going to be a really REALLY tough game, but before then today we'll get more from Arteta when he has his press conference. The big question I think most of us are wondering is on the [...]

A look behind enemy lines as Arsenal prep for Forest at home

Morning folks, hope we're all good and looking for to the re-commencement of the proper stuff tomorrow. We had some lovely videos and pictures of the players in training and as usual, as we all did our zooming in to see if there were any players not in the pictures or videos. It looks like a [...]

Keeping everyone happy at Arsenal

Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]

Arsenal continue to play Eze blinder, but all eyes now turn to Leeds

It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]

Arteta is pumped over new signings

It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]

Football fatigue for other teams is fine by me – not for our lads though

I actually switched on the Nations League final yesterday for 15 minutes, just so I could have a quick look at Zubimendi, although I didn't get a glimpse of his goal. I did unfortunately see Ronaldo get the equaliser to make it 2-2 and then prance around for a few minutes afterwards as if he [...]

Arteta and Andrea’s Arsenal’s alignment

I thought we saw a relatively relaxed Mikel Arteta at his press conference yesterday. I wonder if it was the sun, the fact that he was starting to get over recent disappointments, the tone of the questioning, or maybe it was that he got to deliver good news to the media on Kai Havertz. Naturally [...]

As the season (thankfully) draws to a close, at least next year’s kit looks good…

It's the penultimate press conference of the season today and I'll bet Mikel Arteta can't wait to be shot of them at this stage. It'll be more of the same as he's had in the last few weeks and I suspect he'll have to go on the defensive a bit for the form. Other than [...]

PSG cracks showing? Or misplaced hope?

I completely avoided football this weekend, on account of the Cup semi finals taking place and also a certain team being crowned champions. The good news is that as Arsenal fans we have something else to worry about tomorrow, but as I went to the pub yesterday with The Management for a spot of lunch [...]
